Abstract: When a layered crystal material of vanadium pentoxide that can be used as a positive electrode active material is manufactured, no sulfur-containing organic material is used as a raw material in the present invention. Therefore, any uncertain adhesion of a sulfur-containing organic material to the layered crystal material is eliminated. The property of the suspension containing a vanadium compound and a plurality of lithium compounds such as lithium sulfide and lithium hydroxide is adjusted by using these lithium compounds. By such an adjustment, the pentavalence of the vanadium ions is controlled to be a desired ratio. Consequently, an active material having reproducibility can be manufactured. First discharge energy of a lithium ion secondary battery using the active material can be enhanced.

Abstract: A system (10) and method (52, 60, 72) for combining and/or displaying text with three-dimensional (3D) content. The system (10) and method (52, 60, 72) inserts text at the same level as the highest depth value in the 3D content. One example of 3D content is a two-dimensional image (44) and an associated depth map (46). In this case, the depth value of the inserted text (50) is adjusted to match the largest depth value of the given depth map. Another example of 3D content is a plurality of two-dimensional images and associated depth maps. In this case, the depth value of the inserted text is continuously adjusted to match the largest depth value of a given depth map. A further example of 3D content is stereoscopic content (82) having a right eye image (86) and a left eye image (84). In this case the text (88, 90) in one of the left eye image (84) and right eye image (86) is shifted to match the largest depth value in the stereoscopic image. Yet another example of 3D content is stereoscopic content having a plurality of right eye images and left eye images. In this case the text in one of the left eye images or right eye images is continuously shifted to match the largest depth value in the stereoscopic images. As a result, the system (10) and method (52, 60, 72) of the present disclosure produces text combined with 3D content wherein the text does not obstruct the 3D effects in the 3D content and does not create visual fatigue when viewed by a viewer.

The thin film melt process is processed by a convective and/or mechanical flow, which is produced within the glass melt, and heat conducting under the addition of finely particulate quartz with a particle size of 0.001-0.5 mm. The mixture components during or after the finely particulate grinding are subjected to a suitable grinding technique e.g. a vibratory tube mill of a reaction grinding for obtaining solid-state reactions in the mixture components. The individual mixture components are milled using a finely particulate grinding, which is subsequently performed with a handling device (4) respectively on a thin film smelter (3) and it melted, where the mixture melt: flows in the conditioning tank; is mixed, purified and conditioned by a stirrer and burners and kept at a determined temperature. The glass melt before purifying and conditioning is supplied to a float bath.

Abstract: A ceramic main body 1 is composed of a (Mn,Ni) 3 O 4 - or (Mn,Co) 3 O 4 -based ceramic material. The first phase 2 has a spinel structure. The second phase 3 is formed of high-resistance plate crystals. The second phase 3 is present in the first phase 2 in a dispersed state. A heated pathway 4 having a predetermined pattern is formed on a surface of the ceramic main body 1 by the application of heat by laser irradiation. In the heated pathway 4, the second phase 3 disappears and is crystallographically equivalent to the first phase 1. The plate crystals of the second phase 3 precipitate at 800°C or lower in the cooling substep of a firing step. The formation of the heated pathway 4 facilitates the adjustment of the resistance of an NTC thermistor. Thereby, there are provided an NTC thermistor ceramic with a resistance that can be easily adjusted to a lower value even after sintering, a method for producing the NTC thermistor ceramic, and an NTC thermistor.
